Aloha everyone! We are flying in on Friday and renting a car, so we thought we would get a mini-van just in case we can rustle up a D.D. - the van is on us, but does anyone have an idea for a driver.... maybe easy money for an ambitious teen? open to suggestions! TiKiTnT

Up early for work after a fantastic crawl w/ the SD Ohana. Huge thanks to SoCalTikiGal for organizing, and huge thanks to the hosts for providing all throughout the day. I tried to take a bunch of photos throughout the day to document- unfortunately, a lot of the photos aren't that sharp, apparently not using my phone camera didn't work out the best...

It was another perfect day in San Diego, which created a bit of traffic to the first stop- Treg & Emily's "Tiki the Hut."

Traffic heading towards the beach...

A great way to kick off the crawl, huge amount of food and variety of cocktails to choose from.

Everyone was busy admiring the bar and Treg's rum and mug collection in the bar- while Treg was focused making drinks... unlike this photo:

or this one...

Steve & Amy, hosts a few stops later...

Next up was a short drive to Karl & Angie's bar in Clairemont. Beautiful home and a backyard w/ fantastic landscaping and details that everyone was loved.

Great details everywhere- the sunken Moai in the pond was my favorite:

Thank you Tiki Crawl hosts & hostesses for opening your homes to us! This was our first crawl and we had a wonderful time! So impressed by the hospitality and friendship shared! You've inspired us to want to host a stop on next year's crawl!

Huge, huge thanks once again to all our hosts--Treg and Emily, Karl, Steve and Amy, and John and Elena--for allowing us to come visit your tiki bars. We're all lucky to be able to experience your beautiful homes, great drinks, and gracious hospitality.

Big thanks, too, to all the crawlers who helped make yesterday such a fun day. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet new folks as well. I'm already looking forward to next year!

And thanks, TikiAno, for posting the great pics. Can't wait to see the rest!

Thanks for posting those pics, TikiAno. And many thanks to our gracious hosts and to SoCalTikiGal. Joni and I had a great time, as our circle of tiki friends continues to grow with each event we attend. Can't wait for next year!

Huge Mahalos again to April, all our generous hosts, and all the super friendly and fun crawlers yesterday! It was our first crawl too, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We're feeling a little guilty for having a lazy day today instead of making a return tour for clean-up duty. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your bars and doing all the work to throw such a cool, travelling party.
